The burning of the Richmond hotel
at Buffalo New York, by which it is
supposed at least thirty people lost
their lives, will once more bring up
the question of better fire escapes and
like the fatal car stove, new methods
will be at once suggested. 1t would
seem that if hotel proprietors would
have fire alarms in every room and
at the first discovery of a blaze
would have every inmate awakened
there would be less loss of life. The
common plan seems TO be to wait un.
til the fire has gained such Roadway
that guests cannot reach places of
safety, even if it is possible for them
to be awakened and they are left to
die like rats in hole. 1t surely
would be better to have every guest
in a hotel of any kind ready for
fight, even when it seems probable
that a fire can be brought under con-
troll, than to wait until an entire
building in flames. lest there should
be an unnecessary panic.

A well at Yakutsk, to Siberia, has
been a standing puzzle to scientists for
many years. 1t was begun in 1923, but
given up at thirty feet because it was
still in frozen earth. Then the Russian
Academy of Sciences continued for some
months the work of deepening the well.
but stopped when it had reached to the
extent of some 3S2 feet, when the ground
was still frozen Us hard as a rock. In
1874 the academy had the temperature
of the excavation carefully taken at
various depths, and from the data thus
obtained the ground was estimated to
be frozen to depth of 612 feet. As ex-
ternal cold could not freeze the earth to
such Il depth, even in Siberia, geolo-
gists have concluded that the well has
penetrated a frozen formation of the
glacial period which has never thawed

PERSIAN SHERBET.
The Various Dainty Substances Used In It's
Preparation.

Preparation.
The beverage in Persia is sherbet,
which is plentifully supplied, and of
which there are many varieties-from
the bowl of water with a squeeze of
lemon to the clear concentrated juice
of any sort of fruit to which water is
added to dilute it. Preparing sherbet,
which is done with the greatest care. is
avery important point in so thirsty
country as Persia, and one upon which
much time is devoted. 1t may be either
expressed from the juice of fruit freshly
gathered or from the preserved extract
of pOmegranates, cherries or lemons,
mixed with sugar, and submitted to
certain degree of heat to preserve it for
winter consumption. Another sherbet
is much drank, WEIGH must not omit
to mention, called gazange6den, made
from the honey of the tamarisk tree
This honey is not the work of the bee,
but the produce of small insect or
worm living in vast numbers under the
leaves of the shrub. During the
months of August and September the
insect is collected and the honey pre-
served. When used for sherbet it is
mixed with vinegar, and although not
sO,deliciOus a. that made from fruit, it
makes an excellent temperance bever-
age. Only among the rich and fashion,
able are glasses used; in all other classes
sherbet is served in china bowls, and
drank from deep wooden spoons carved
in BeiQrdUTa.

twenty-four no property qualification

There is a certain amount of in
justice In this condition of affairs. AS
j. Chester Lyman contends in an
able article on this subject in the
March number of the North Ameri-
can Review, "the doctrine of State
rights is all very well when applied
to the purely internal government of
a State, and so long as, in its appli-
cation, it infringes upon no individual
rights. But, under the present law
the individual rights of a very large
majority of the male population of
the United States over twenty-one
years of age are materially interfered
with. IF it is right that in one State
the nor-citizen resident should vote,
it is equally right in every State, and
the twenty-one States that requires
their voters to be citizens do their
foreign residents a grievous wrong.
On the other hand, if any State may
justly require citizenship as a condi-
ton for reimbursement, every State
should require it.

UNEVEN SUFFRAGE.

There are not many of our readers
probably who are aware of the extent
to which inequalities of suffrage exist
in the various States of the Union.
By the constition distinct methods
have been provided for the election of
President, and Vice-president, United
States Senators, and Representatives !;
but beyond this general outline, the
Constitution has left to the several
States the untrammeled power OF
determining the necessary qualifica-
tons of voters.
The different States have LET about
this work of fixing the conditions of
the suffrage in as free AM varied a
manner as the widest enthusiast OF
civil and political liberty could dream
of.
Of The thirty-eight States constitut-
ing the Union, only twenty-one re-
quire the qualifications of citizenship,
while the remaining seventeen make
no such demand. One State
kentucky requires a two years
residence within its limits, twenty-five
States require one years residence,
nine States are satisfied with six
months, one Minnesota is content
with four moaths, and the remaining
two maine and Michigan make no
higher residential demand upon the
aspirant to suffrage than that he shall
have made his home within their
limits for ninety days.
OF the seventeen States that do not
require citizenship, there are four in
which a foreigner is allowed to ex-
ercise the franchise after he has been
in the United States six months;
there are eleven of the seventeen that
require him to have been within their
borders for year before he reaches
out for the "crown of citizenship" one
(Kentucky) exacts residence of two
years, and one (Michigan) two years
and half.
Of the thirty-eight States, there
are only two Connecticut and Mass
achusetts) that impose an educational
qualification, but the educational test
is not very severe, as the candidate
for the franchise in Connecticut is
only required to be able to read, and
in Massachusetts, to read and write.
AS might be expected, however, of a
State that claims the appellation of
''The Land of Steady Habits" Con-
necticut requires moral, as well as
an educational qualification from her
would-be voters. Their character
must be attested to by prominent
citizens as being sober and above re-
proach before they are allowed ad-
mittance to the sacred precincts of the |
polling booths, In this exaction of
''good moral character" Connecticut |
stands alone among the States of the |
Union.
Nine of the States demand the
previous payment of some sort of q |
tax five more refuse enfranchisemest
